Snow Anyone?

I'm Worth It !!

April 17, 2010

Some Beach, Somewhere ...

Love this new set from Stampin' Up! It is perfect for summer or those hot winter vacation photos. It's called Tropical Party, and it will be in the upcoming Summer Mini Catalog ... hehehe.

Don't you just love unmounted RUBBER stamps!! Here is ANOTHER great reason to get them : You can manipulate them on your block. Those palm tree images came from just one stamp, but I stuck them down on the block in different directions, so it would look like 2 different images. You could never do that if it was stuck to a wood block! My hammock was made with the wide oval punch, and I just cut it down. I tore a strip of CS to sponge my beach and used a scallop circle to sponge my sky.

I love the bright colors in the new Island Oasis DSP, as well. The hammock is from one sheet and the matting is from another. I am using this set in the Control Freaks swap, and this was a card that didn't make the cut. When I do show you what I came up with, though, you will be SHOCKED !! Tootles, have fun and happy stamping!!

Oh mercy, this is too fun! And what a great idea to "change" the palm trees! You are genius! I do love the SU clear mounteds, too~even though I love the wood, also. But I'm buying almost all unmounted now, they are so much easier to store! And I LOVE SU's storage system for them. FABULOUS!!! I've bought a ton of empties for other stamps I own, too! :D

A great card, Julie - how clever to flex the clear stamp! And I love the simplicity and result in creating the hammock. Now, if I could only remember 'talents' like these when the opportunity arises! TFS
